The Repairing Standard, contained in the Housing (Scotland) Act 2006, covers the legal and contractual obligations of private landlords to ensure that a property meets a minimum physical standard.

To comply with the Repairing Standard, private landlords must follow guidance issued by Scottish Ministers which states that the property must have:

one functioning smoke alarm in the room which is frequently used by the occupants for general daytime living purposes,

one functioning smoke alarm in every circulation space, such as hallways and landings,

one heat alarm in every kitchen, and

all alarms should be interlinked.

In addition to this, landlords are required by law to ensure that the property has satisfactory provision for giving a warning if CO gas is present in a concentration that is hazardous to health. GSM Electrical Fife installs only AICO smoke and CO detectors which are the market leaders in fire and CO protection.

From 1st December 2016, all rented property in Scotland must have a satisfactory Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) certificate and Portable Appliance Test (PAT) completed. The EICR inspects the electrical installation, fixtures and fittings of a property and the PAT is a record of the testing of all appliances in the property which are provided by the landlord.
